Democratic U.S. presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden takes part in an outdoor town hall meeting in Scranton, Pennsylvania, U.S. September 17, 2020. "It's a new model for or a kind of grassroots engagement and fundraising and volunteer mobilization that really is the product of an election that matters so, so intensely for everyone," Wikler told ABC News ahead of Thursday's fundraiser,"and a pandemic that puts people in front of Zoom screens across the country on a regular basis.
"And that was so successful that we just started brainstorming, 'who else might be up for doing something like this?'" said Wikler. From there, a member of the state's Democratic Party was able to get in touch with Elwes, who was eager to set up a Princess Bride reunion.
